Good to hear from you again and to know you are doing ok . I have been on Abraxane IV and coped with it fairly well. My hair even grow back while I was on the treatment. I think I was on Abraxane for over 2 years before I had to change treatment. I have just spent most of the winter in hospital, from end of June until Yesterday. After my last chemo , I had temperatures over 38 ,so my oncologist told me to report to the hospital. Things did not improve and I had trouble breathing. I spent some time in ICU. And found out I had pneumonia. I lost alot of weight and found it difficult to walk again. I spent my last few weeks in rehab, to put on some condition and get me walking again. I was determined to get going as I wanted to go home. I now have lympodema in my L leg which I think is from the mets in my pelvic area and the top of my femur which may be affecting the lymph glands. I am . due for scans and see my oncologist next week so I will find out more then. Its so good to be home. All I can say is you cant keep a good woman down. That goes for all of us.
